METAIRIE, La. – Zach Strief doesn’t pay attention to the referee anymore when he announced the “No. 64 is reporting eligible.”

The uniqueness has worn off and, quite frankly, he’d rather not hear it with the reason being that he’s a full-time player.

But that doesn’t mean listening to fans buy jerseys with “Is Eligible” as the name gets old.

It doesn’t and he appreciates it.

“It’s pretty cool,” Strief said. “It makes sense in this town the way people appreciate us. And I certainly appreciate it. It’s awesome to see it and have people call up and say, ‘I got your jersey with Is Eligible.’ It’s pretty cool and I think it’s pretty unique to New Orleans.”

I'm sorry but you are very wrong. We could do a whole lot worse than Stinchcomb, he is solid in pass pro and really good at getting to the second level in rhe run game. Him being injured for a big part of last year contributed a lot to the dropoff in our run game.

Yeah, it seems like there is a small contingent of the fanbase that likes to hate on "Stench-comb" but in all the game tape I have seen (which is most of it) he has been a very solid and effective lineman. He isn't a pro-bowl talent, but he gets the job done.

You can say he is the worst Saints O-lineman, but that is kind of like being the slowest Ferrari, just because everyone else DID go to the Pro Bowl and he didn't doesn't make him bad, it just means everyone else is amazing.
